 | | Sydney International Boat Show 2016 Sydney International Boat Show |
Meanwhile the industry is focusing on the upcoming Sydney International Boat Show being held for the first time at the reconstructed International Convention Centre and Cockle Bay Marina, Darling Harbour between the third and seventh of August. It's the occasion of the 50th Sydney International Boat Show and a lot of water has passed under the Pyrmont Bridge in those 50 years. My first experience of the show was when it was held at the Royal Agricultural Show Ground in Moore Park. No water access and the only yachts with keels were Beneteaus, hauled in on low loaders. The show occupied all of the various show ground pavilions, all different shapes and sizes and working out how to take in the whole show was an exercise in itself. In the eighties the show moved to Pyrmont for three years, lodged between two old wharf piers. It did enable an on-water facility but if it rained and one year it did, the whole show was on water! Twenty five years ago it moved to Darling Harbour.
